[edit] contradiction
does not the example given in the second sentence of this two-sentence paragraph contradict the first sentence?
"It is possible to be an asymptomatic carrier of sexually transmitted diseases. In particular, sexually transmitted diseases in women often cause the serious condition of pelvic inflammatory disease." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.205.132 (talk) 01:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] No emotional behavioral effects?
Why doesn't the article discuss the emotional and behavioral consequences associated with STDs? They are a major social stigma in many cultures. --EncycloPetey 04:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Why aren't there more STDs?
Why there are apparently relatively few STDs? I think there "ought" to be hundreds of well known STDs. I mean, fluid exchange during sex is a jackpot for microcritters to evolve to take advantage of. Could it be that these missing STDs are really there but are wrongly presumed to be genetically heritable diseases, defects,(or even advantageous traits!?) since they would commonly run in families?-Rich Peterson —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.86.14.86 (talk) 20:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] STDs and Chronic Prostatitis
Could someone please help on the prostatitis page? Could someone please summarize the medical literature from MEDLINE and elsewhere on "chronic prostatitis and sexually transmitted diseases" - thank you. Wikipedia says, "Wikipedia works by building consensus..... The primary method of determining consensus is discussion...." ReasonableLogicalMan 21:39, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stdspain.jpg
Image:Stdspain.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Condom Failure
Come on, I think a source verifying this claim is needed. Seriously, you can't make these kinds of claims without documented support (of the lack of documentation).Wuapinmon (talk) 15:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] More history would be good
I came to this article because my high-school students raised the subject in English class while discussing a novel set in the early 19th century, and they were surprised to learn from me that STDs did exist prior to the 20th century. I had hoped the article might have a little more about how far back they are known to have existed; the closest the current text arrived was to mention a VD hospital from 1746. It would be good if we could extend the article a bit to supplement the technical info with a little more historical context.Lawikitejana (talk) 03:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
